Heat Duty and Utility Consumption — sample pages

What it does

Up to 10 streams

Fluid, flow, inlet and outlet temperature and pressure — boiling and condensing included.

10 utilities

LP, MP and HP steam, cooling and chilled water, refrigeration, electric heater, fired heater, hot oil and heat recovery.

Your site data

Utility prices, steam pressures, efficiencies and COP with editable defaults.

Totals by utility

Duty, utility use, MWh per year and cost per year, by stream and by utility.

Feasibility checks

Heating or cooling direction and utility temperature checks for every stream.

Heat recovery hint

Flags when the plant both heats and cools, so a heat recovery study may pay.

Built for engineers

  • Visible formulas — nothing hidden, so you can check every step.
  • Fully referenced — methods from the standard references, checked against their published worked examples.
  • Safe to share — sheets are protected against accidental edits, with an open password so you can still customise.
  • Built-in input checks — clear warnings for impossible inputs and values outside typical ranges.

For engineering estimates; verify against site data. Code-based methods are aligned with the publicly documented procedure; they are not a licensed reproduction or a certification.
